《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 8: "The Household Vessels!"
Advertisement
"This is the story about two friends and a Dungeon!" Sinbad says as he and Annalise stood on top of the building. They get money after Sinbad finishes the story and Annalise collects it all. Sinbad notices Harun was watching and he pulls Annalise over to where they can talk.
"How's it going Harun?" Sinbad asks.
"It's good to see you." Annalise says.
"Consider me impressed." Harun says.
"I'm just glad it's working." Sinbad says.
"This is only something a true capturer can do." Harun says.
"Well, people mainly come because of Annalise." Sinbad says as he smiles at her. She was busy saying hello to the children that was surrounding them.
"It is a stroke of pure brilliance." Harun says.
"I still didn't get all the acquired money though. Grant me a favor. Give us more time." Sinbad says.
"Hmm." Harun says and looks at his companion who gives Sinbad a big bag of gold.
"This is my listening fee." Harun says.
"Eh?" Sinbad asks.
"Accept this from one comrade to another." Harun says.
"It's the gold needed." Annalise says with wide eyes.
"I'll support you dream." Harun says.
"I've got to know, Harun, uh, I mean mentor, who are you?" Sinbad asks. Some guards show up and scold Harun for disappearing.
"Huh?" The two say in unison.
"Allow me to introduce the twenty-second king of Balbadd, his excellency, King Rashid." The companion to the guy says.
"KING?!" Annalise asks in shock as Sinbad stares shocked.
A few days pass and Annalise looks at the scroll with Sinbad. They get happy as they read and they smile at each other then look at Rashid.
"Mentor! Thank you for all your help! They approved us trading here and now I can't wait for the new goods to arrive." Sinbad says.
Rashid suggests they do more performances and Annalise gets up and runs after Sinbad after the two thank him. Rashid smiles as he sips from his drink.
Meanwhile, Jafar is stuck with babysitting the giant baby, Kikiriku.
"Awe, but I'm just a kid! I can't take care of a baby." Jafar says and Hinahoho and Rurumu walk away. Kikiriku pulls on Jafar's face and he glares at the child.

"He weighs a ton." Jafar says falling over.
Meanwhile, crowds gather in the theatre anxious for the performance. Sinbad makes it snow shocking everyone. Annalise smiles as she stands with him at the back of the theatre at the top of the seating.
"Welcome my friends into a world of action packed adventure!" Sinbad says and everyone looks at him. Sinbad draws Baal and holds him up before activating his power. Annalise and Sinbad use the time of the people being shocked and scared to create sparkles in the sky and jump to the stage. Everyone stares in shock as they begin to really get interested in the performance.
"You are in for a treat tonight. Prepare to hear the heroic tale of two best friends!" Sinbad says as the fire on the stage lights up revealing them.
"From the bottom of our hearts! We hope you enjoy the show!" Annalise says. They begin telling their story of the dungeon.
Night after Night more and more people began to show and the two would continue to impress their audience. Sinbad begins to get worried about those who can't see the performance because the theatre was packed. Annalise shared his worry.
As they go past the Colosseum, they peek out the curtained window of the carriage they sat in with Rashid. Annalise's eyes widen as she listens and Sinbad gets a determined look on his face.
A few weeks pass when the group arrives, a guard asks Hinahoho if he is Hinahoho.
"Uh that's me." Hinahoho says.
"I am Sinbad's errand boy." The guy says.
"Errand boy?" Hinahoho asks.
"I drove the carriage here to pick you up." The guy says.
"Alright, Rurumu and I will take care of unloading. You guys go on ahead." Hinahoho says.
"Kikiriku come here." Rurumu says and the baby starts crying as he was on Jafar's shoulders.
"Oh, he's totally attached to Jafar now." Hinahoho says.
"It's fine, I can take care of him. I'm sure Annalise is going to go crazy from how cute he is." Jafar says.
The group is taken to the Colosseum. Jafar blinks confused. They look down to see Sinbad and Annalise telling the story about the dungeon in Imuchakk.
"What the?" Jafar asks, "What are they doing?" Kikiriku gets down as Jafar stares in shock.

"The theatre audience exceeded that of the theatre so for the first time ever, there is a theatre performance at the Colosseum." The errand boy says.
Kikiriku wanders off and Jafar runs after him. Jafar chases after him and finds a monster playing with him while Kikiriku laughs. Jafar screams in shock making the monster roar. That causes Kikiriku to cry.
"Kikiriku!" Jafar yells. Jafar remembers the lengths that Annalise and Sinbad went to save him and he takes a deep breath before pulling out his daggers. Jafar begins attacking the beast.
Above them, Annalise and Sinbad describe their rescue of Jafar and Annalise's eyes widen as her ears pick up the sound of Kikiriku's crying. She runs away and Sinbad blinks confused as he tries to continue without her. She rushes down to the room and finds Jafar fighting.
"JAFAR!" Annalise screams.
"Annalise! Stay back! He has Hinahoho's kid!" Jafar says.
"Kid?" Annalise says and looks at the little baby that was crying. She gets angry and she runs and jumps before attacking the monster and kicking him in the face. Jafar stares up at Annalise and remembers how he's changed so he can be a good follower for Sinbad. He remembers Annalise's hugs and her smile. Jafar was no longer an assassin because of Sinbad and Annalise's kindness. They gave him a second chance. Annalise lands beside Jafar.
"Now!" Annalise says.
"Right! Together!" Jafar yells. Their household symbols materialize and Annalise jumps up using her powerful legs then she shatters the monster's teeth as her symbol appears on her bracelet that glows.
"Household Vessel, Bararaq Pulse!" Annalise screams as she uses her momentum and punches through the monster's head with a huge burst of lightning at the same time Jafar attacks.
"Sham Lash-style assassination! Kunai Attack!" Jafar yells. Jafar gets hit as he misses. And the monster keeps fighting regardless if he was injured.
"Jafar!" Annalise says as she falls from behind exhausted. Kikiriku continues to cry and Annalise stares at Jafar and reaches for him as the monster goes to attack again. Jafar gets up and Annalise stares shocked as he summons his household vessel.
"BARARAQ SEI!" Jafar yells as he finishes the monster after it had freed Kikiriku and Annalise struggles to catch Kikiriku, but Jafar does instead. The monster is electrocuted and dies as Annalise struggles to walk over to Jafar and Kikiriku.
"You both are safe." Annalise says. Jafar passes out as the kid was already passed out. Annalise holds them both until Sinbad finds them.
"Annalise!" Sinbad yells and runs into the room.
Jafar wakes up and asks about the baby that the two had given to Vittel and their other ally. Annalise looks at Sinbad.
"My entire body glowed while we fighting and lightning shot out of my bracelet and formed around my hand and the shattered the monster's teeth." Annalise explains.
"Electricity came out of these too." Jafar says as he holds his daggers.
"Eh?" Sinbad asks, "They are giving off the same glow as my sword."
"Are these the household vessels?" Annalise asks.
"That means you two are my first Djinn Warriors." Sinbad says.
Later, Annalise and Rurumu fight over who's child Jafar is and Jafar blushes as the two women fight over him. The girls laugh together.
The next day, Annalise reveals the Sindria trading company. Sinbad walks out wearing a bunch of flashy jewelry as he walks with Rashid.
"Annalise! You aren't wearing the pretty gems I got you." Sinbad says.
"They are to flashy." Annalise says.
"Awe, but they complement your beauty." Sinbad says.
"Are you leaving?" Annalise asks looking at Rashid. He nods and Annalise smiles and glares at Sinbad as he places a necklace on her neck.
"Good bye, Sinbad. Remember what we spoke privately about and I expect you two to visit me in Balbadd." Rashid says.
"What did you two talk about?" Annalise asks and Sinbad laughs.
"Just some things about the future." Sinbad says.
"Who was that?" Jafar asks.
"Huh? Oh, a guy who helped us and he's also the King of Balbadd." Sinbad says.
"The King of Balbadd?" Everyone except Annalise and Sinbad ask shocked.
The group heads out on the boat and Sinbad glances back atAnnalise as he wore a new outfit. She also has a new outfit. They planned tospread Sindria Trading throughout the world. Sinbad rallies the group andeveryone cheers in unison.
